REPERTORY
CURRENT WORKS
The Knowing is a new quartet for four female dancers exploring the intersection of the spiritual and material worlds. Each dancer embodies a distinct empath—one who can astral project, one who sees the future, one who intuitively knows, and one who perceives the present beyond time. As their narratives unfold, their unique gifts reveal hidden truths, personal challenges, and a shared journey through fear, ego, and darkness toward a single, divine answer: love. Set against a haunting, original score by a young French composer, The Knowing blends dance, quantum physics, and metaphysical inquiry into a powerful new work.
At the core of Hearts on Fire are three distinct yet interconnected love stories. Five dynamic female-identifying dancers—each introduced through a solo in the opening sequence set to Without Words in the Way—reveal layered portraits of desire, vulnerability, and resilience. Their stories unravel and entwine, shaped by themes of miscommunication, timing, and emotional wounds that echo through each duet, quartet, and ensemble moment.
RECENT WORKS
On November 20, 2022, ETD presented a multi-media dance theater tribute to the artists who defined NYC nightlife in the mid-1990’s, Set in the dynamic, exciting dance club SLATE in NYC, audiences experienced an odyssey of art, addiction, recovery, and destiny. Choreographed by Eryc Taylor. Guest choreographer Alex Tenreiro Theis. Composed and music directed by Daniel Tobias.
At the height of the Global Pandemic in 2020, all public gatherings were cancelled in New York City. But did art need to stop? ETD activated its dancers by focusing their creativity and energies in a socially distanced video dance project:
ETD’s first dance film has been selected as a finalist and winner of several international film festivals. With commissioned, original music composed by Daniel Tobias, the 30 minute short film is about the pandemic and our companies efforts to cope with the ongoing health crisis. The film can be streamed live or virtually.
In 2019, with the political fission in the United States as deep as ever, ETD channelled its dancers’ feelings of helplessness into an empowering, emotionally and physically charged project:
A visual, physical and auditory “wake up call” to the impact of our actions on climate change. E A R T H is a six part evening length work incorporating fiver original two minute films that serve as transitions. E A R T H is choreography by in collaboration with past recipients of the company’s New Choreographer Grant Program. The work can be performed immersive in any space indoors or outdoors. Requires soil as a set piece and a projector for the films.
